No right of withdrawal

In accordance with article L.121-21-8 of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal is not applicable to service providers in the fields of accommodation, transport, food and drink, or leisure activities due to be provided at a specific date or period.

These Terms and Conditions apply on a supplementary basis where a specific contract exists (such as a Corporate, Group or Seminar contract, etc.).

Commercial offer

Our brochure and websites constitute the pre-conditional offer in accordance with the articles R. 211-5 et R. 211-6 of the French Code of Tourism. Odalys however reserves the right to modify certain services offered, according to the conditions set out in article R. 211-6. The reservation of a stay and/or a trip implies that the present specific conditions are accepted. A printing error is always possible. The variations in economic conditions can lead to a modification of prices before the signing of the contract. We make every effort to provide photos and illustrations giving an overview of the services on offer. These photos and illustrations are intended to give an idea of the category of services. Given the diversity of our accommodation, we present a general description and photographs to give an overall impression in our brochure and on our websites. For more details, do not hesitate to contact us. Surface areas of villas, apartments, mobile-homes, bedrooms, swimming pools, etc. are approximations and given only as a rough estimation. We cannot be held responsible for any road works or building work undertaken by the commune or by private individuals, near the sites rented out.

Bookings

“Booking” means the initial booking as originally confirmed. Any subsequent modification or cancellation shall be assessed with reference to that initial booking. Unless special offers or commercial terms apply, any booking request must be accompanied by a deposit of 25% of the total cost of your stay, the booking fees and, where applicable, the full insurance premium. Unless special offers or commercial terms apply, the balance must be paid 30 days before the start of the stay, without us having to send a reminder. Failing this, we reserve the right to consider your booking cancelled and to apply the fixed cancellation charge set out below. For bookings made less than 30 days before the start date of the stay, as well as bookings subject to the “non-refundable” rate, full payment is required at the time of booking. Most of our stays are for 7 nights, from Saturday to Saturday. Please note that accommodation intended for a specified number of occupants may under no circumstances be occupied by a greater number of people. Unless special offers or commercial terms apply, after payment of the balance we will send you a stay voucher containing all the necessary practical information. Payments made by bank card guarantee the booking and ensure payment for the stay.

Our prices
Prices are stated in euros. You may display the price in another currency for information purposes only. Payment for your stay may, however, be made only in euros, the sole currency applicable to transactions on the Odalys website. A booking fee of €25 is charged for each booking (except for bookings subject to the “flexible” rate and bookings subject to the “City Conditions”). These fees are added to the prices shown in the catalogue or on the Odalys website. Our prices are inclusive of all taxes and include value added tax (VAT) at the rate currently in force. Any subsequent change to the applicable VAT rate or the introduction of new taxes on the services listed in our catalogue and on our websites, occurring between the time the prices are set and invoicing, shall automatically result in a change to the tax-inclusive price. Our prices do not include: booking fees; any weekly or per-stay charge for your pet; the security deposit payable on arrival and returned after your stay (subject to the inventory check carried out on departure); any additional services (e.g. television rental, bed linen or towel rental) or extra services; end-of-stay or mid-stay cleaning; ski lifts and/or any other available additional service. Ski-pass prices are quoted without insurance. Insurance must be taken out at the ski lift pass office in the resort concerned.

To view our payment methods, please visit: payment methods

Tourist tax and Eco-Recycling Contribution
The tourist tax, collected on behalf of local authorities, is not included in our prices. It is calculated per person and per night and varies depending on the destination. Depending on the local authority, it may be collected on site.

An Eco-Recycling Contribution, not included in our prices, may be collected to protect the environment and sort waste. It is payable on site as a flat fee or per night at certain establishments (the rate is €0.20 per day and per person).

Package travel
In the case of a combination of travel services within the meaning of EU Directive 2015/2032, you will, unless otherwise provided, benefit from all the rights granted by the European Union as transposed into the French Tourism Code.
Promotions
Promotions and discounts are in no circumstances retroactive.
Baby kit
Where available, we strongly recommend that you reserve it before your arrival, either when booking or directly with the establishment concerned. The baby cot we provide complies with the applicable European and French standards. These standards notably recommend that a second mattress not be added to the cot in order to prevent any risk of suffocation. No additional mattress will therefore be supplied with the baby cot.
Pets
Pets are accepted only at certain sites and subject to a fee payable on arrival. We recommend contacting the establishment concerned directly to check whether pets are accepted and to confirm the conditions applicable to their presence. Their presence must under no circumstances cause any disturbance to neighbours (noise, hygiene, odour, etc.); pets are strictly prohibited around swimming pools. Dangerous or aggressive animals and “new pets” (non-traditional pets) are not accepted. Please bring your pet’s health record.
Leisure activities
Information about activities shown in our catalogue or on our website consists of suggestions provided by Tourist Offices or external service providers at a date well before your stay. For further information, please contact them directly before booking so that the information can be confirmed. These activities may be available at the resort or nearby, subject to an additional charge and the conditions of the relevant service providers. Details of our services may change between their publication on our website or in our catalogue and your stay, without giving rise to any liability on our part.

Please note: certain prepaid activities are neither exchangeable nor refundable if the stay is modified or cancelled. For all off-site outings presented at our establishments and organised by an external service provider, the customer agrees to be taken in charge by that provider and under its responsibility. For the purchase of ski passes, partial or total service interruptions due to weather or technical reasons (even if lasting less than one day) shall not entitle the customer to any compensation. However, exceptional compensation may be granted depending on the terms agreed with Odalys by the ski lift company in the resort concerned.

Cleaning
At most of our establishments, end-of-stay cleaning of your accommodation is included in our prices. In this case, the accommodation must be left tidy and in a normal state of use. The kitchen must be in order and the dishes clean when you leave. Detailed instructions will be provided on arrival. Any failure to comply may result in costs being deducted from your security deposit.

Where cleaning is charged separately, you must return your accommodation in a perfectly clean condition. In this case, you may request that cleaning be carried out for you, for a cleaning fee starting at €64, payable on site.

For bookings subject to the “City Conditions”, cleaning is included in our prices as follows:

  • Stay of 1 to 4 nights: end-of-stay cleaning
  • Stay of 5 nights or more: weekly cleaning from the 8th night

Any additional cleaning may be arranged on request or at the time of booking and will incur an additional charge.

Stays abroad
You must be in possession of the documents required and compliant with the regulations of the country visited, including vaccinations, identity documents, passports and insurance.
Unaccompanied minors
We reserve the right to refuse minors who are not accompanied by their parent(s) or legal guardian and/or to cancel the booking without prior notice and issue the corresponding refund where the participants in the stay are minors who are not accompanied by their parent(s) or legal guardian.
Foreign nationals
We recommend that you contact the consulates of each country regarding any visas and the organisations responsible for compliance with regulations, particularly health regulations. We are not responsible for persons who have failed to comply with the regulations in force.
Assignment of contract
If you assign your contract, you must notify us by any means that provides proof of receipt no later than 7 days before the start of the stay, providing the details of the new beneficiaries and ensuring that they meet the same conditions as you for taking the stay.
Holiday vouchers
Odalys Vacances is approved by the French National Agency for Holiday Vouchers (Agence nationale pour les Chèques-Vacances). We accept these vouchers as payment for our rental services in France or for destinations within the European Union. We recommend sending them to us, duly completed, by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt.
Arrivals and departures
At most of our sites in France, arrivals are scheduled for Saturday between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., and departures take place the following Saturday, with accommodation to be vacated by 10 a.m. and left in a perfectly clean condition.

For bookings subject to the “City Conditions”

At most of these establishments, apartments are normally made available to guests from 3 p.m. on arrival (key handover) and must be vacated by 12 noon on departure. These times are indicative and may vary at certain establishments. Any late departure will incur an additional charge.

Cancellations and modifications

For any cancellation or modifications, we require written confirmation by a means that provides proof of receipt.

A modification means a change relating to the arrangements for the stay (for example: dates, location, type of accommodation, etc.), and not merely a change in price.

Booking fees (if applicable) and the amount of any insurance taken out are never refundable, including in the event of a modification or cancellation of the booking.

Any stay that is interrupted or shortened, for whatever reason, shall not give rise to any refund.

Liability
We wish to draw your attention to the fact that, in accordance with the legislation in force, the sale of tourist stays does not fall within the scope of hoteliers’ liability. Consequently, Odalys shall not be liable in the event of loss, items left behind, theft or damage to personal belongings, particularly in your accommodation, shared premises and adjacent car parks. We remind you that you are responsible for the security of your accommodation during your stay and must take out insurance accordingly. Certain precautions may help you avoid any inconvenience, including closing your windows and patio doors before leaving and locking your door.

We wish to draw your attention to the fact that accommodation in hotels falls within the scope of hoteliers’ liability. Consequently, in the event of loss, theft or damage to personal belongings in the accommodation, car parks or shared premises at establishments classified as hotels, Odalys’ liability shall be engaged only within the limits established by law.

Relocation
If, due to exceptional circumstances, it is impossible to make the booked accommodation available to you, the establishment may offer you alternative accommodation in an establishment of an equivalent type and category.
